The National Team submitted its Option A proposal this week to land the first woman and next man on the Moon in partnership with NASA. Blue Origin leads the Human Landing System (HLS) National Team, which includes Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Draper. Together, these partners guided Apollo, established routine orbit cargo transfer, developed today's only crewed lunar spaceship, and pioneered planetary precision landing with liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen vehicles. The proposed solution uses flight heritage and modularity to manage risk, move fast, and attain sustainable operations on the Moon. During the base period alone, the National Team is completing 25 technical demonstrations, making key progress toward NASA's mission. Watch this video to learn more about the technical demonstrations and the approach to get America back to the Moon to stay. Video: Tech Demos for NASA�s Artemis Program
Simulations could unlock mystery of the Moon's formation Durham UK (SPX) Dec 09, 2020 Astronomers have taken a step towards understanding how the Moon might have formed out of a giant collision between the early Earth and another massive object 4.5 billion years ago. Scientists led by Durham University, UK, ran supercomputer simulations on the DiRAC High-Performance Computing facility to send a Mars-sized planet - called Theia - crashing into the early Earth. Their simulations produced an orbiting body that could potentially evolve into a Moon-like object. While the res ... read more
